It speaks from your memory, not a syllabus.
Your partner sticks to the words your reviews say you know, and brings in at most one new word at a time. See one you want to keep? Tap it and it joins your reviews.
Native iOS · built for adults
Real conversations, in the words you already know.
Type your answers, read and listen to real language, and let an honest scheduler bring each word back right before you'd forget it. Then the payoff no other app has: a conversation partner who speaks only in words you've actually learned, that you can talk to out loud, and never scores you.
New · Tongueforge Plus
Now you can have the conversation.
A partner who speaks in the words you already know, and never scores you. It's what all those reviews were building toward.
Just talk.
Talk out loud or type — she hears you the first time and answers at the speed of a real conversation. Nothing you say gets marked while you speak. Afterward, a short note with a couple of phrasings worth a second look. That's it.
Conversations with a point.
Order the coffee, book the table, sort out the ticket. And if something real is coming up, describe it and rehearse it first.
Each language has its own partner, so conversations pick up where you left off. Your partner is an AI, running through Tongueforge's own service. When you talk out loud, your voice is turned into text by a speech-recognition service and then handled like any other message — your recordings aren't kept. Everything you create by learning — cards, history, progress — still stays on your device and your own iCloud.
Why it sticks
A serious tool, not streak theater.
Most apps make practice easy so you keep tapping, and easy practice is easy to forget. Tongueforge asks a little more of you, and gives back a lot more.
Typed answers: you produce the word from memory instead of spotting it in a lineup.
An honest scheduler: each word comes back right before you'd lose it. Fewer reviews, stronger recall.
Real language, not just cards: reading passages, dialogues, stories, and listening practice woven through your day.
Feedback that teaches: miss an accent and it says "Almost, check the accents." Then you type the correct form once, because that's the teaching moment.
Progress you can trust: words made solid, levels reached, the day you came back. No streaks to protect, nothing that expires.
Private and native: built for iPhone and iPad, works offline, syncs through your own iCloud. No ads, no tracking.
